Death Penalty is not an option!!! Give PRAISE to the Lord for his mighty salvation and deliverance in the lives of the involved. Praise the Lord there will be Brighter Days.

-Religious nut jobs scare me.
White supremacist rate just a hair above pedophiles in my book, and if any of you reading this are one of the sheet wearing clowns you can kiss my American Indian butt. Sorry but given the option I would be the one flipping the switch. Hell I would even turn it into a spectator sport, let the families of the deceased go after ‘em “with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch”(stolen from Pulp Fiction). I don’t remember what comedian said it but I love the fact that Texas has an “express lane” on death row. Get that sucker running like a twisted Rube Goldberg machine.

I can't get any of those S-T links to open, but this is just sad on so many levels. Rest In Peace to the deceased.

Well, I agree on the "no death penalty" principle. The only difference is that my reasoning isn't "it's my imaginary friend's job to kill bad dudes."

And let's not get too hasty on the Go/No Go death penalty argument.
It's just the current option we have for "Voting Them Off the Island"<font size="1">TM</font>

From what I remember of the story, the men claimed that the victim borrowed a car and refused to give it back.

So are you saying the arrested men might have been victims of the victims?
